The Sounds We Make

These days we are very conscious about what we put into our mouths, but are we concerned with what comes out? I'm referring to the sounds we make, and the words we use.

Yawning out loud in public

There are times when we cannot help but yawn. The best way to do so is to cover our mouths and face away from those within our company.

Burping in public

There are some cultures that appreciate a loud burp after a meal as it is a sign that we enjoyed the food.  And yet there are some that frown at any hint of a burp, it is respectful to be aware of what is acceptable by any culture at any given time and behave appropriately.

Swearing

Just because some people are comfortable with the use of foul language doesn't mean that we have to follow suit. An expression can become a habit, which in turn can become a stain upon our character.
